Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely great terrific doctor.
Very professional. Made me feel very very comfortable. Total confidence in the doctor.

Respectful and Professional
Dr. Sanchez could not have been more respectful or professional. She: saw me right on time; diagnosed the problem and explained it in easy to understand terms; and presented the options. She then performed minor external surgery and explained clearly what to expect next and what I should do. These things are never fun, but Dr. Sanchez could not have made me feel fetter about it.

My visit was for an annual check up. I've had abnormal cells in my past and Dr. Sanchez has guided me through each process of staying well. She is so reassuring and calmly soothes your anxieties while explaining all she needs to do. I would recommend Dr. Sanchez highly. I have moved away from the Fairfax area but find it is worth the drive in order to stay a patient of Dr. Sanchez.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sanchez?
Dr. Sanchez was very supportive and clearly communicated what to expect before and after surgery. Her partners were also professional and helpful when performing follow ups in the hospital. Most importantly, the surgery went flawlessly and the protocols used to ensure a fast recovery worked well in my case. The support team at Inova Fairfax were all fantastic. Scheduling a procedure may move slower than anticipated but the outcome was worth the initial frustration for me. Overall communication was fantastic including the use of the Mychart portal. I had a robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial colectomy. Dr. Sanchez did a great job minimizing the trauma to my abdomen and I was back to normal faster than expected.

Dr. Sanchez is absolutely the best Dr. we have ever worked with in combination with her peers at Inova Health Care. What can you say about the women that saved the love of your life from Cancer? How do you comment on getting to see the mother of your children grow old? Thank you and we love you for your dedication and love of your patients. I hope nothing but the best for Dr. Sanchez and hope all her dreams come true. If your looking for a great Dr. to treat your loved one during the most difficult time of your life, I highly recommend Dr. Sanchez and the entire staff at Fairfax Colon and Rectal Surgery.

I was worried about some unusual symptoms I was experiencing. Dr Sanchez really put me at ease. She allowed my daughter to attend my appointment on FaceTime to get the details. This was very helpful bc my mind typically goes blank once I leave the appointment! Nerves?? Dr Sanchez was thorough, professional but also kind and reassuring. I’m pleased my general practitioner recommended her to me and I can see why she’s been chosen as among the top doctors in Virginia.

I wish all doctors were like Dr. Sanchez. She was nice from the very beginning, listened paying attention to all my symptoms, asked me some questions and immediately diagnosed me. She even told me some symptoms that she thought I was having (that I had forgotten to tell her), and sure enough, she was right. I never felt pressured or rushed to end the appointment. Very professional and approachable. Oh and BTW, she’s also completely fluent in Spanish and English. 100% recommended.

Dr. Sanchez is amazing. She took the time to listen to me and answer all my questions. I’ve never had a doctor spend that much time with me just listening and explaining things to me. She made me feel comfortable and put me at ease immediately. I love everything about her and completely trust her. I would recommend her to anyone.

I love Dr. Sanchez. I don’t know what else to say because she is amazing in every way - patient, extremely talented, brilliant, sweet, smart - I could go on and on. FFX C&R saves my life twice in 2005 and I love everyone there. If I had to move for some reason, I’d drive/fly back to see them.
